  • Grammarly Rebrands as Superhuman, Unveiling an AI-Powered Productivity Suite
    October 29, 2025, 1:18 PM EDT. Grammarly is rebranding as Superhuman to expand from writing assistance into a full AI productivity platform. The new brand unifies Grammarly's writing tools with Coda's collaboration and Superhuman Mail's inbox, and adds Superhuman Go, an AI assistant that can act across 100+ apps like Google Workspace, Outlook, Jira, and Confluence. Go uses modular 'agents' to summarize, retrieve data, or file tasks, aiming to reduce friction and work more seamlessly with users' existing workflows. Superhuman plans an Agent Store with built-in and partner AI agents and an SDK to invite third-party developers. The shift signals a move toward an AI-native, background-enabled experience that amplifies human capability rather than forcing adaptation.

  • AI-Targeted Cloaking Threat: Poisoning AI Crawler Outputs and Misinformation Risk
    October 29, 2025, 1:02 PM EDT. Security researchers warn of a new AI-targeted cloaking technique that can poison outputs by serving different web content to AI crawlers such as ChatGPT Atlas and Perplexity based on a simple user agent check. Dubbed AI-targeted cloaking, this makes manipulated pages the ground truth for AI Overviews, summaries, and autonomous reasoning. The risk: it can seed misinformation and introduce bias as SEO and AI optimization grow. In SPLX tests, many systems could be steered when framed as debugging tasks, underscoring weaknesses across agentic browsers. The broader finding from hTAG shows abuse scenarios where safeguards can be bypassed, underscoring the need for robust defenses before AI tools rely more on direct retrieval.
